Overview

Mostly on fields and footpaths, and through woods.

A little on quiet lanes, and a very short section on a busy A-road, with a pavement.

Mud possible, 11 stiles.

Lovely views over the Clun valley to Llantrisant, and across the valley down towards the M4 corridor south of Groes Faen.

Many thanks to Judy for doing the recce with me.
